Enciso reveals talks with Palmeiras, says: "I hope it can happen one day" | OneFootball

Currently at Strasbourg, in France, the Paraguayan attacking midfielder Julio Enciso revealed that "due to life circumstances" he did not sign with Palmeiras, a club for which he expressed having a "great affection." At the time the negotiations took place, he was a player for Brighton, in England.

Julio Enciso thanked the Palmeiras management for their trust and revealed that he had conversations with captain Gustavo Gómez. He also mentioned his partnership with Ramón Sosa, who joined the club in July 2025.

"The truth is that I have a very great affection for Palmeiras. I have two teammates from the Paraguayan national team there, (Gustavo) Gómez and Sosa. I thank captain Gustavo, who talked to me. And, well, due to life circumstances, it didn't work out. But I always ask Gustavo and Ramón for jerseys when I'm with them on the national team, and that affection remains. I hope that at some point this can happen. I also thank everyone in the Palmeiras management who trusted in me," he said in an interview with Cazé TV.

At the time when Palmeiras had Enciso on their radar, a video went viral on social media of the player, still at Brighton, training in the Palmeiras number 15 jersey, belonging to captain Gustavo Gómez.

Enciso's Career

Enciso was discovered by Libertad, in Paraguay, and signed by Brighton in 2022, where he played 58 games, scored five goals, and provided six assists. In the last season, he was loaned to Ipswich Town, which ended up being relegated in the English Championship. There, he played 13 games, scored two goals, and provided three assists.

This year, Julio Enciso was purchased by the BlueCo. Group, which manages Chelsea (ENG) and Strasbourg (FRA). He initially joined the French team, but there is an expectation that the player will also be utilized in the English team. The Paraguayan has accumulated 23 games, eight goals, and three assists.
